In this recent kitchen remodel, we designed an island to serve the functions of storage for cookware, serving food, and seating for casual meals. A second sink was added to provide an additional food prep area when needed. It is placed in the center of a u-shaped kitchen, allowing for easy flow around all sides and provides a ringside seat for family and friends to socialize with whomever is preparing food. This particular island has beautiful architectural detail that adds distinct character to the overall space.
